There are several differences between this 2016 version and the 2015 version that definitely make it worth the upgrade. Many improvements have already been listed in previous comments: -Headset is smaller. -Improved, thicker padding (especially around the nose) for better comfort and allows less light in while still allowing room to wear eyeglasses. -Field of view is noticeably wider. -Resolution is sharper. -It's much lighter in weight. -The touchpad is now smooth - no unnecessary up, down, left, right grooves -Instead of just the volume rocker and the 'back' button, the back button has been enlarged and another dedicated 'home' button has been addednext to the 'back' button above the touchpad. -Proximity sensor is fixed in this model. -It's has more ventilation: with the phone in the Gear VR, the back of the phone is completely exposed to the air for maximum heat dissipation. (My GS7 Edge would still overheat in the 2015 Gear VR... and the GS6 Edge lasts much longer in this headset before it overheats). Lastly, -With the addition of interchangeable MicroUSB and USB-C connection points, as well as a USB-C charging port on the underside with an included adapter for MicroUSB charging cables, it was designed to be backwards compatible with existing Galaxy S and Galaxy Note models and at the same time work with future Samsung Galaxy phones. For example: compatible phones are the GS6, GS6 Edge, GS6 Edge+, Note 5, GS7, GS7 Edge, and the Note 7... EVEN THOUGH NO ONE SHOULD HAVE A NOTE 7. Future models of the Galaxy S series and Galaxy Note series will all convert to the latest universal standard port, USB-C.

The goggles are great and image quality is fantastic however, you have to use the oculus store for your VR apps and the store is VERY LIMITED in its VR apps and the ones they do have are so over priced is not Worth it... so the goggles are worthless. Spend the time and money researching and purchasing a pair of goggles that will allow you to use all the vr apps in the Google Apps store.

I love this thing. The games are amazing and more are added regularly. The only thing that I don't really like is how quickly my phone gets hot when I'm playing, and have to stop mid game. Hopefully, they'll find a fix for that. It's definitely worth the money.

The Oculus software has been updated 3 times or more times, it still is a piece of junk that only works occasionally. Don't waste your money, it's pretty cool but only if it works. Nothing I have done will make it work. I have restarted my phone several times I have uninstalled and reinstalled all of the software. I have contacted Oculus support, I have spent money on games that I can't play because this junk won't work.

I am almost 50 and the gear we got was for my 2 boys: I bought another! These things are so easy to use and so much fun!! We also bought 2 wireless remotes. The scary "games" are REALLY scary!!!! We love them.
